instantaneous acceleration* * * * *No it does not.The graph is a distance-time graph so the coordinates of a point on the graph represent the position (distance) at the specified time. The gradient of the tangent to the curve at that point represents the instantaneous radial velocity. The second derivative at that point, if it exists, would represent the acceleration.

the body is in accelerated motion.
Motion directly either toward or away from the center is 'radial' motion. Motion where the distance from the center is constant is 'tangential' motion.
